It doesn't take any more energy to create a big dream than it does to create a little one.
Wesley Clark
Image
This is kind of hard to articulate, but in broad outline, the United States is going to do what the United States has to do.
Wesley Clark
Image
I'm pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, pro-environment and pro-labor. I was either going to be the loneliest Republican in America or I was going to be a happy Democrat.
Wesley Clark
Image
I like Hemingway and I like a lot Jewish writers (such as) Saul Bellow.
Wesley Clark
Image
I like Hilary Clinton. I think she's - she's a fantastic leader.
Wesley Clark
Image
The more Marines I have around, the better I like it.
Wesley Clark
Image
There are only two kinds of plans. Plans that might work and plans that won't work... you have to take a plan that might work and make it work.
Wesley Clark
Image
Working together, we can build a world in which the rule of law - not the rule of force - governs relations between states. A world in which leaders respect the rights of their people, and nations seek peace, not destruction or domination. And neither we nor anyone else should live in fear ever again.
Wesley Clark
Image
I don't think it's patriotic to put on a flight suit and prance around on the deck of an aircraft carrier looking for a photo op. We have a president of the United States who did not do his duty to take care of America. If you're patriotic, you do your duty.
Wesley Clark
Image
We've never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intel information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I've seen that for a long time.
Wesley Clark
Image
Let's not forget what the origin of the problem is. There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states. That's a 19th century idea and we are trying to transition into the 21st century, and we are going to do it with multi-ethnic states.
Wesley Clark
Image
The time has passed in America when this party can be the party of compassion and let the executive branch run foreign policy. It won't work. We have to be the party that can stand toe to toe with George W. Bush on national security, as well as the party of compassion.
Wesley Clark
Image
It was of tremendous comfort. I always said my prayers at night. My mother taught actually me to say prayers at night but most of it came from the church.
Wesley Clark
Image
We're going to take out seven countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.
Wesley Clark
Image
Imagine a world in which we saw beyond the lines that divide us, and celebrated our differences, instead of hiding from them. Imagine a world in which we finally recognized that, fundamentally, we are all the same. And imagine if we allowed that new understanding to build relations between people and between nations.
Wesley Clark
Image
Anyone who tells you that one political party has a monopoly on the best defense of our nation is committing a fraud on the American people.
Wesley Clark
Image
The truth is, about the Middle East is, had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa. Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa.
Wesley Clark
Image
I want to make one thing clear: I'm pro-choice, I'm pro-affirmative action, I'm pro- environment, pro-health care, and pro-labor. And if that ain't a Democrat, then I must be at the wrong meeting.
Wesley Clark
Image
Serious research and development efforts are required to produce technologies, strategies, organizations, and trained personnel who can go into failed states, work with our allies and friends, and promote the political and economic reforms that will meet popular needs and reduce the sources of terrorism and conflict.
Wesley Clark

It's important. One of the principles in the United States is civilian control of the military.
